A common story

1. A Frontend Dev
2. A side project
3. No time

So...

Pros and cons

1. Opportunity to try new stuff
2. Cool UI React-based
3. Continuously updating
4. Using Plone as CMS

1. No experience with it
2. No clear idea on estimating
3. Continously updating/changing
4. Docs

Expectations

• Simple and small website
• No UI wireframes and simple design
• Plone users management and security 👍

Thoughts

• Nice dev experience
• Pastanaga/Semantic is a good base
• Semantic UI theming engine
• Editors UX
• Plone CMS, with users management and security
• Easy to deploy with pm2
• Lean process by prototyping and iterations

So the meaning of life is having fun
